Phone Help
I’m really pleased to be able to offer a limited amount of telephone help (I have a day job as a professional small business advisor and I’m a mum of 3). If you need to ask an expert specific questions to get over a roadblock, or would like to talk through your ideas, concerns and issues - then please book a call.

Testimonals
Brilliant service!
"I'd spent ages searching the internet and phoning people just to get thoroughly confused! Then I spent a full hour asking Valerie question after question and now I know exactly what to do."
-Sharon Thomas
Valerie made it so easy!
"Back in the US it's tricky enough setting up a business, but over here in France it's a nightmare! A friend recommended Valerie and one call later my husband and I are registered as an auto-entrepreneur."
-Anne Fisher
Highly recommended
"Trying to pick the right structure for my business and make sure my wife and I got medical cover was frustrating to say the least! Valerie clearly explained our options, told us what we needed to do -- now were in business and covered."
-Jon Pettifor
